Discovering your Skills and Strengths

Skills come from many places You don’t have to be paid to acquire a skill Most people aren’t aware of all their skills

Discussion Questions 1. Is it more important to have all the job skills an employer is looking for or to have the ability to learn quickly? Why? 2. Are people happier when they use the same set of skills at work as they do in their outside interests? 3. Can people learn new adaptive skills once they become an adult, are our personality skills set in childhood? 4. Thinking back on all the jobs you’ve had and the things that you’ve done. When did you feel most satisfied, full, and alive.
